Conserving a classic | Together In Art Slow TV
Switch on for a slow TV experience as senior conservator Simon Ives cleans Arthur Streeton’s The Gloucester Buckets, a brilliant work from 1894 that needs expert treatment before going on display in our Streeton exhibition.
We hope you enjoy this peek into the heart of the conservation process – no before-and-after, no big reveal, but a meditative glimpse into method, patience, and meticulous care.
